Daily Digest: African Ballon d'Or and the 'new' approach to injured players | OneFootball

This Wednesday, November 19, the French press (on the sports aspect) focused on Paris Saint-Germain regarding a change in the management by Luis Enrique of the return of injured players and on the African Ballon d'Or 2025 that Achraf Hakimi (27-year-old right-back of PSG and Morocco) could win today.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

We won't hide it, the modification mentioned by Le Parisien is quite disappointing after reading. It ultimately only involves having a few extra days in team training before returning to competition after an injury. While logically specifying that it also always depends on the players, since everyone is different, does not recover in the same way, and therefore does not need the same amount of time. It's hard to see a significant change.

As for the African Ballon d'Or, Hakimi indeed seems to have a good chance of winning after a historic season at PSG. Even though he came behind Mohamed Salah (33-year-old forward from Egypt and Liverpool) in the 2025 Ballon d'Or. He is a competitor to be taken very seriously, along with the other finalist Victor Osimhen (26-year-old forward from Nigeria and Galatasaray). But the Parisian might receive more votes, as there are no other Parisians this time.
